Using LG ThinQ Application
Things to check before using LG 
ThinQ
 x For appliances with the   or ThinQ logo
1
Check the distance between the appliance and 
the wireless router (Wi-Fi network).
 x If the distance between the appliance and the 
wireless router is too far, the signal strength 
becomes weak. It may take a long time to 
register or installation may fail.
2
Turn off the Mobile data or Cellular Data on 
your smartphone.
3
Connect your smartphone to the wireless router.
NOTE
 x To verify the Wi-Fi connection, check that Wi-Fi   
icon on the control panel is lit.
 x The appliance supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks 
only. To check your network frequency, contact 
your Internet service provider or refer to your 
wireless router manual.
 x LG ThinQ is not responsible for any network 
connection problems or any faults, malfunctions, or 
errors caused by network connection.
 x If the appliance is having trouble connecting to the 
Wi-Fi network, it may be too far from the router. 
Purchase a Wi-Fi repeater (range extender) to 
improve the Wi-Fi signal strength.
 x The Wi-Fi connection may not connect or may be 
interrupted because of the home network 
environment.
 x The network connection may not work properly 
depending on the Internet service provider.
 x The surrounding wireless environment can make 
the wireless network service run slowly.
 x The appliance cannot be registered due to 
problems with the wireless signal transmission. 
Unplug the appliance and wait about a minute 
before trying again.
 x If the firewall on your wireless router is enabled, 
disable the firewall or add an exception to it.
 x The wireless network name (SSID) should be a 
combination of English letters and numbers. (Do 
not use special characters.)
 x Smartphone user interface (UI) may vary 
depending on the mobile operating system (OS) 
and the manufacturer.
 x If the security protocol of the router is set to WEP, 
you may fail to set up the network. Please change 
it to other security protocols (WPA2 is 
recommended) and register the product again.
